Frisian Beverages

Specialised

BUTTERMILK as an everyday drink and a cooking liquid; COFFEE in Fryslân, where the coffee table with its fixed sequence of biscuit, cake and tart is the social form; TEA in East Frisia, on quite different terms; BEERENBURG, the herb-and-juniper jenever blended at Harlingen and drunk across the north; and jenever more broadly. ⚠ THE COFFEE/TEA SPLIT IS A REAL REGIONAL BOUNDARY and it does not follow the language boundary.
